Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup refried beans

4 small flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup taco sauce

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, garlic powder, and a splash of water. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet, lightly toast each flour tortilla on both sides for about 1-2 minutes until they are slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.

      Layer the Base: Spread a thin layer of refried beans on two of the tortillas. On top of the beans, add a generous layer of the seasoned beef mixture. Then, drizzle taco sauce over the beef, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese.

        Top It Off: Place the second tortilla on top of each of the layered tortillas. On the top tortilla, spread more refried beans, a layer of taco sauce, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.

          Bake the Pizzas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled Mexican pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

            Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions. Slice into quarters and serve hot with extra taco sauce on the side. Enjoy your homemade Taco Bell-style Mexican pizza!
